    OT: Pickup trucks

    Yeah, it’s an expensive hobby. I am looking at getting a Taco and modifying the heck of out including putting an alu-cab camper on it. My job allows me to work remote at times. I intend to see just how remote I can get with this and Starlink.

    OT: Pickup trucks

    Got a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon because it is a good platform for overlanding. It definitely has allowed that. The bed, towing capacity, and payload are decent, not great. The off-roading capability, for a mid-size truck, has been excellent and I have not modified the suspension or tires. I have...

    Clemson joins FSU in suing the ACC

    Niether Maryland nor Rugters brought much athletic success to the Big 10. They did bring access to Washington/Baltimore and New York TV markets. That means more money. I don’t see any President voting to add members to a conference unless the amount per school remained constant if not...

    Clemson joins FSU in suing the ACC

    Perhaps. Texas had the Longhorn Network and has always been the premier university in the state. Austin metro area has a population of 2.28m in a state of just under 30m. Clemson brings in Greenville-Spartanburg population approximate 500k in a state of just over 5.1m. It also does not have...

    Clemson joins FSU in suing the ACC

    I cannot see the SEC taking Clemson. It does not add to their TV revenue. Same with FSU. I can see the Big 10 looking at either of them but I think they would prefer Miami (TV Market) and UNC (another good size TV Market). The problem for Georgia Tech, FSU and Clemson is the SEC already...

    Read this article then make up your own mind

    I manage many, many people. I never lie to them. Ever. I might say, I cannot answer that question but I won't lie . I want my associates to respect me and most importantly go to the mat for me when things go wrong. I want them to be open, express new ideas, and take risks. None of that happens...

    What happens to players who speak out against Tomlin or his coaches? Just ask Chukwuma Okorafor. And while Jones might be a better RT than Okafor, I believe Jones at LT and Okafor at RT was the better option.

    I cannot imagine Knoll or the Chief tolerating this to happen. Nor would Dan Rooney. You can part ways with players with respect and honesty. Does anyone like the Steelers culture anymore? Is it a coincidence that we struggle to make the playoffs and got crushed when we make them?

    Do you stay in a job if your boss has lied to you especially on something as important as your future development and career? My rule is simple: If my boss lies to me or deceives me on something like this, I leave. Development requires trust because you have to take risks and be open. You...

    Steelers acquire Justin Fields for a 6th round pick

    The issues is not Kenny. The issue is the Steelers have zero clue on what makes a good offense and a good qb. Good NFL offenses are efficient and consistent. We struggled with both the past two years, some of that due to Kenny. Neither WIlson nor Fields are known for their decision making...

    Steelers acquire Justin Fields for a 6th round pick

    Yep. Three different starting qbs on opening day for three consecutive years. 2025 will make it 4. Very Cleveland Brown like.

    Steelers acquire Justin Fields for a 6th round pick

    They don’t have to pick up the option. If they don’t, just realize they will not have an qb on the roster now under contract beyond this year. We are opening this year with the 3rd different starter at qb since Ben left. I suspect 2025 will make it 4 years with a different starter on opening...

    Steelers acquire Justin Fields for a 6th round pick

    Or next year, Steelers fans could be screaming to the FO never to pick up retread Bear’s qbs again. 😉

    Steelers acquire Justin Fields for a 6th round pick

    Fields has no incentive prior unless you given him a longer deal. The most likely outcome this year is that who ever plays qb for the Steelers this year will at best put up average to slightly less than average results. The good news is the Steelers can easily part ways with Fields and...

    Steelers acquire Justin Fields for a 6th round pick

    Fields will cost the Steelers $25 million to have under contract for the 2025 season. They have to decided that by 5/2.

    Steelers acquire Justin Fields for a 6th round pick

    Please don't compare Wilson or worse, Fields to Ben. Ben made a living in the pocket. He could make great plays outside of the pocket as well, but he killed it as a pocket passer as well. You don't have three 500 yard plus games and not be a consistent pocket passer.

    These guys are relentless - WTF?

    Knee pads. It makes their job reporting on the Steelers much more comfortable.

    Steelers acquire Justin Fields for a 6th round pick

    By trade value , which is a market price, Pickett > Fields and it's not even close. That means many GMs see Pickett as having the higher ceiling and it's easy to see why. Fields does not make good consistent quick decisions in the pocket. He is much better at making things happen outside of...

    That last Stillers offensive possession….

    Not the first time this happened. I believe against Jacksonville DJ is lined up to the left on a 3rd and goal from the 5 and runs a slant against zone coverage. DJ is open but continues running towards the middle and towards a defender. Pickett throws to a spot which is eventually behind DJ...

    That last Stillers offensive possession….

    I apologize for not being clear. No qb will put up good numbers in this offense because the offense has a poor design. I think the offense would perform better under a different qb but I doubt even a prime Tom Brady, a historical Steve Young, or a current Patrick Mahomes could make this...
